“Kids have a desire to belong. So if we can give them that as a family, make it fun, make it healthy, make it something they are a part of forming, that gives them a foundation as they go into the world.”

Friends, I am so excited for you to listen to this interview because today we have my dear friend Monica Swanson on the podcast! She lives in Oahu on the North Shore, she's a mom of four boys, and she is just amazing.

Monica is so wise and so fun, and I really wish that you knew her in real life because she's just one of those people that you want to absorb everything you can from. Her first book is called Boy Mom, and today we’re chatting about her upcoming book called Raising Amazing (which I highly recommend!), how to build an intentionally strong family, and ways to keep Jesus at the center of it all.

In this episode you’ll hear: 

🏋 The importance being the best you for your family

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Setting intentional values with your kids

⛪ How to keep your family centered on Jesus
